Knight Rider Returns??

Someone high up at NBC must really love the idea of this show. Many much better shows have not gotten the chances that this crap has.

Hmm, i hated it, so I'll start up my own petition to get it scrapped and get the decent shows that have been cancelled put back on.

"Knight Rider" Cancelled
March 6, 2009 by Michael Hickerson   || Category: TV

A few weeks ago, the cast of "Knight Rider" implored viewers to keep watching their series.  Apparently those pleas fell upon deaf ears.

The return of "Knight Rider" is over.  NBC made it official yesterday, canceling the reboot of the popular 80's series.

In the end, it was low ratings that doomed the series according to Alpha Airlock.    "Knight Rider" debuted with a 4.5 rating/7 share overnight at the end of September and saw ratings grow over its first four episodes rising as high as a 4.9/8 by mid-October. However, two episodes later, "Knight Rider" would crash into the wall head on, falling to a 3.3/5 by November sweeps — an audience loss of nearly 33 percent — and never recovering.

yeah, the later episodes were a lot better, but it was too late.  Shame.

I'll be honest, even after watching a couple after the "remake" of the remake it still didn't interest me that much.  The whole idea of the show is kinda weak and always reminds me of the quote made my "The Hoff" in the original series. 

"An invincible car and its driver, we could go places with this" or something like that.  (No, not an exact quote)

Is it just me, or am I the only one noticing that's just not a great idea?  Its why Knights are usually the main focus in every story.  Not their horses (or cars in this case).  Why is this?  Its just not nearly as interesting.  (The only exception being dragons in the rare case)  Horses/cars can't go places that People can so its always them on the outside waiting for their master to come back out.  (A main point of annoyance with this series.  Kitt was always on the outside and never enough of him, talking or action).  That's why the series suffered.  Its just a concept that doesn't work. 

And one thing I did lol at was one "chase scene" they had.  It had Mike basically chatting with everyone back at base having "deep" conversations and paying no attention to the scene in front of him.  No focus at all on the road or catching up to the people running away.  It was very fake and didn't work for me at all. 

Thus, this is my long  :2cents

So they finally put it out of it's misery eh?

Probably the right decision. I was VERY excited when I heard they were making this but I just didn't think it was very good and stopped watching after about 3 episodes.

Hopefully it's slot will be taken up by something interesting.

To paraphrase the intro to the original series:    "...Knight Rider-- A shadowy voyage into the world of a show.. That should not exist." (at least as a remake)

Its about time

I was actually enjoying it. It wasn't must see tv, but it was on par with the original. It also wasn't Flash Gordon.
